I'm just curious if the whole hour of tantrum he is unreachable and out of contact with you, yelling/screaming/kicking etc, or whether it starts and stops for the hour or ?

With such long tantrums, what happens if he's in the middle of a tantrum and you absolutely have to leave the house (and take him with?) Does he tantrum all the way to wherever and into wherever you are going or does he calm down?

An hour is such a long time -- poor kid and poor everyone! How hard it must be to keep your own calm...
